Lifetime cost tool-box

The Commission, through its Intelligent Energy-Europe (IEE) Programme, has supported a number of projects that have developed tools and techniques which can support the application of the Directive. These include the STARBUS project.

The STARBUS project has developed a system to calculate fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and pollutant emissions of different vehicles under real road operating conditions, on the basis of a simple measurement on-board a trial vehicle driven over the relevant route. In addition, an assessment tool accessible through internet has also been provided, which enables direct use of the data previously measured for determination of the corresponding operational costs.
